Pacific Rims is a weekly basketball podcast from the United We Cast Network that delivers smart, authoritative coverage of professional hoops across the Pacific Rim and the growing influence of the region on the global game. Hosted by long-time NBA analyst and Yao Ming biographer Ric Bucher alongside former overseas professional player and Asia-based NBA executive Greg Stolt, Pacific Rims connects the dots between Asia-Pacific leagues and the highest levels of basketball in the United States.
Each episode breaks down the need-to-know stories shaping professional basketball in Australia (NBL), China (CBA), Korea (KBL), and Japan (B.League)—from league trends and front-office decisions to coaching philosophies, player development pipelines, and the business of basketball in the region. The show also spotlights players from the Pacific Rim making an impact in the NBA and U.S. college basketball, examining how international prospects transition to the American game and how NBA teams evaluate and invest in Asia-Pacific talent.
Blending insider reporting, executive perspective, and global basketball context, Pacific Rims is essential listening for fans, scouts, coaches, executives, and anyone interested in international basketball, Asian leagues, NBA global strategy, and the future of the game across the Pacific Rim.
